I mainly was excited to come to this office because they had online coupons
for new patients and I knew I needed work done. I was sweetly surprised by the
warmth of the office. I was brought into a room where the dentist John Lee came
in within five minutes and looked over my x-rays and mouth. He asked what was
priority to me and then gave his recommendations. As he prepped things for my
fillings I was brought a magazine and a blanket. He was friendly, straight
forward and precise. It was the most pain free filling I have ever had. His
assistant worked well and watched intently for any cues from me for needing
suction. I didn’t gag even once! All in all this place is fantastic. I have
been to some real bummer dental clinics, but this place is just great. I would
highly recommend them!

I had a very unfortunate encounter with popcorn and broke off a good chunk
of one of my teeth. Normally I would go see my regular dentist in this
situation, but he is in Salt Lake and I am living here in Portland for the
summer. I knew that this was not something that could wait until I moved back
home and that it really needed to be taken care of quickly. I found John Lee on
Google and chose to call him because he offered coupons to new patients. He was
able to fit me in quickly which I was very grateful for. He and his staff were
all very nice. Since I do not have dental insurance they were great about
figuring out how much everything would cost ahead of time and letting me know
so I could choose if I wanted to go ahead and have them do the crown or not.
They also work with you to set up a payment program if needed. He was very
nice, made me feel comfortable and seemed to really care about giving me a good
crown!

Dr. Lee tackled major dental issues that had been completely ignored by my
employer's group-insurance practice. I had been told at each exam
"everything's fine" only to learn from one exam with Dr. Lee that I
had several deep molar fractures with large cavities under old fillings. Three crowns
were needed to save the teeth, fortunately discovered before more serious
issues developed. A lot of good my group dental insurance did me ... great low
co-pays but they barely skimmed the surface of dental care. I am a healthcare
professional, and my immediate respect for Dr. Lee and his team has been
confirmed with each follow-up appointment. He is efficient and skilled while
showing thoughtful concern about his patient's experience. He is personal, kind
and humorous, and clearly has brought together a proficient and responsive
team. I also appreciate his impressive technology which allows you to see the
work in progress on a large monitor. When Dr. Lee learned I was getting married
very soon he added several minor but nicely visible cosmetic improvements. And,
having his own lab on site, he was able to hasten the process and get the crown
work completely done before the wedding. I give grateful thanks for finding Dr.
Lee and his team!

Dr. John Lee is a "lifetime" dentist to our family. He had taken
care of us for over 15 years. He had us at our first visit. He is very
sensitive to the comfort of his patients. I have always been a nervous wreck
and dreaded going to the dentist. And if that continued, it would have cost me
my teeth! All that changed with Dr. Lee. Every visit is pleasant. Any work to
be done with my teeth is always thoroughly explained. Technically and
financially. And during any procedure, he never fails to ask how I was doing or
if I feel any pain. His lively, considerate, caring, and professional attitude
is mirrored by his marvelous staff that I nor my family never hesitate to call
if we had questions. Bravo to the doctors and staff of Rose City Dental Care.
Thank you for what you do for us! Our family love you!

Fabulous office staff, Amazing Doctor! Dr. John Lee has along with his
staff, completed several treatments on myself, my husband, and my son. After
having gone to a, shall we say a "less than quality provider", we
have been extremely pleased with the quality of work and warm atmosphere
provided by this office. All of us have had a pleasant experience and our teeth
DO NOT HURT anymore! I can’t say enough about the relief Dr. Lee has provided.
Dr. John is truly a Doctor that cares! On many occasions he has gone above and
beyond the call of duty. Thanks so much!

Dr. John Lee is an amazing dentist and I am so pleased with the work he has
done for me in the past four years. I had to have a front tooth pulled and the
implant I now have looks so beautiful and natural. Dr. Lee is a highly skilled
professional and a compassionate practitioner. He truly is a tooth artist.

Dr. Lee and his staff at Farmington Dental Care are the absolute best! I
haven't been to see a dentist in 2-3 years. A few weeks ago when I started
experiencing tooth pain, I called Dr. Lee. I was able to get in that day, and
was very impressed with Dr. Lee's professionalism and knowledge. I really
appreciated the fact that Dr. Lee explained the problem with my tooth, and
outlined the many options open to me. We agreed to start with the least
invasive treatment plan, and progress from there if needed. Well, at 5:15 this
morning, when I was unable to sleep because of tooth pain, I called Dr. Lee's
office. It was a pleasure to actually hear a friendly voice answer the phone,
and then be told "Come on in, we are here and can see you now." How
many dentists will see patients at 5:00 am?

My children have also been seen by Dr. Lee and his staff for their cleanings.
His entire staff is professional, friendly, kind and works well with patients
of all ages!

Thank you, Dr. Lee! I know that my family has found a life-long dentist!!!

I have seen Dr. Lee now for six years. I have received nothing but top notch
care at his clinic in Beaverton. He and his wonderful office staff have been
nothing but compassionate and professional. I have recommended my own patients
from my own clinic to Dr. Lee for dental work, and have had nothing but 'Thank
You from those that I have sent there. They treat everyone like Family. I would
recommend this office to anyone for anything. The front desk help is warm and
helpful. They were able to help me navigate my way through an insurance
nightmare. Dr. Lee was able to identify a potentially serious health issue
through examination and x-ray that could have led to far-reaching health issues
that go beyond simple dental concerns. My wife sought care from him as well. I
appreciate the fact that he felt that her condition was beyond his ability to
correct, and was quick (and non-egotistical) to make the referral to the
appropriate caregiver. I appreciate the time and effort Dr. Lee obviously has
put (and continues to put) into continuing his education and skills to insure
that he has all of the tools necessary to safely diagnose and treat any
condition he may come across.

I have been seeing Dr. John Lee at his Beaverton OR office for about 2 years
now, and I must say I am so pleased that I found him. He has such a wonderful
way of putting me at ease, no matter what type of procedure is needed. He is
always very professional, and obviously very competent at what he does because
my results have been wonderful. I've had 2 crowns and 4 fillings as well as the
routine examinations. He has set out a plan to complete what I need done before
I retire when my coverage won't be as good as it is now. I really enjoy the
fact that he seems always to be in good humor (not to mention humorous). I
greatly appreciate the fact that several times during a procedure he will ask
me if I am doing okay. The majority of dentists I've had in the past never ask
that. To sum it up, I am very thankful for Dr. Lee and also for the staff he
has surrounded himself with from the efficient, friendly front desk personnel,
the wonderful hygienist I see there and his assistant who works together with
Dr. Lee like clockwork. All of this adds up to a much more pleasant experience
on my end. I highly recommend Dr. John Lee.

Dr. John Lee was a Godsend to my family in a time of great distress. He came
highly recommended to us by someone in the business. We needed extensive of
dental repair from a horrible dentist (Lake Oswego) who did a lot of damage to
myself, my husband and teenage son.

*Note: NEVER go to any dentist without a trusted referral!

Dr. Lee is compassionate, quick and gentle. I could barely open my jaw and he
made me comfortable. Even prescribed me anti-anxiety pills for my appointments,
when I needed it. He made time for me when I was experiencing incredible pain
from root canals caused by the previous dentists faulty work. He does in house
custom crowns that are fabulous, best I've ever had. Love this dentist!!!

It's tough to find a good dentist who is highly skilled with strong
interpersonal skills. I recently found Dr. Lee at Farmington Dental. I have had
a lot of dental work done by Dr. Lee. He put in a crown and replaced all of my
silver fillings with porcelain. In addition to doing great work, he is very
personable and he always makes me feel comfortable when I visit. I also like
the way he does his own lab work. The crown he fashioned for me is a perfect
fit. I am glad a friend recommended Dr. Lee to me -- he is a keeper!

I hope that I can express how much meeting Dr. Lee has helped me. Being
terrified of the dentist since I was five and had a bad experience. I have left
many a dentist office crying and knowing I'd never go back. Dr. Lee did a root
canal on my front tooth that was so bad it had been falling out when I brushed
my teeth, it also turned out to be infected, so all that adds up to a lot of
pain at least that was what I was ready for but that pain never came. He used
no gas and I didn't have the white knuckles from holding the arms of the chair
in fact they were resting in my lap and I thought I could have taken a nap. As
a scairdey cat of dentist I was shocked, but happy. I think the highest compliment
I can give him is to say that when he completed the root canal I would have
went right back into his chair that same day for more work , and I no longer
have to dread and be in fear as I count down to seeing him again. Dr. Lee would
be great at a lot of things I'm sure, but I am very happy he became a dentist
and that our paths have crossed for what I hope is my lifetime and I know I
can't be his only patient to feel this way. Also I must take a moment to say
his entire staff that I have met so far from front office, billing, hygienists
(assistants) all of them that have been helpful and informative. Dr. Lee is
also very kind and respectful not only to me but I noted his respect for the
people he works with, his team and that kindness and respect seems to set the
tone for the whole office which is hard enough to find. But finding a great
dentist who once again didn't scare me or cause me pain and the level of
integrity and respect shown is what makes Dr. Lee and his team five star worthy
in my eyes and more importantly to my mouth. Thank you all very much.

I have been going to Dr. Lee for a little over 1 year. When I first found
Dr. Lee, I had serious dental issues my prior dentist never addressed. Dr. Lee
stepped in quickly, explained the problems to me and put me on a course of
treatment that has made major improvements in my dental health. We are not done
yet but we have a plan and I can see a future where my dental problems are a
thing of the past.

One other thing about Dr. Lee is the range of services he offers. I first went
to Dr. Lee in reference to a problem I had with a dental implant. He was able
to quickly deal with my implant problem and during that visit help me greatly
with another bigger issue. The denture that fit over the implant always felt
uncomfortable to me but my previous dentist never saw an issue. Dr. Lee not
only saw the problem but knew how it should be resolved. Within a day he had
the denture back to me fitting far better than when it was new. After fixing my
implant and my denture so quickly I knew I had found my new dentist.

Another review raised serious questions about Dr. Lee's office and equipment.
My experience here is very different. Dr. Lee has a nice waiting area with
comfortable chairs and plenty of magazines to read that are mostly recent. His
dental equipment is top notch. Everything looks new and is obviously well
maintained. His dental chairs are comfy even for me at slightly over 6'4”. His
assistants are obviously well trained and do their best to make you comfortable
in what is sometimes a tense situation (who really likes going to a dentist?).
Overall Dr. Lee, his staff and equipment are the best I have experienced and I
would recommend them to anyone looking for quality dental care in a caring environment.
